Default My 4 with 9 days to go

Like most, I am swaying in the wind a little but :

1) Everson Griffen. Reports of lack of effort (at times) worry me but it doesn't seem like a huge problem and I love his size/athleticism combination.

2a) Arreious Benn. I really want a WR this year to compete for time now and not be a rookie in 2011 if Moss is gone. I think I read he had a low Wunderlich which is a concern but I like everything else about him.

2b) Tyson Alualu. I considered Carrington and Wooten but in the end I settled for a 3-4 DE with a higher floor and lower ceiling.

2c) Ricky Sapp. Same concern about Griffin but if we need a pass rusher there comes a time we have to ignore the imperfections and get a talented athlete in here. Sapp at WOLB and Griffen and SOLB could be a good future.

That's an interesting group with a great upside but a crazy high bust potential too. I'm not enough of a gambler to that that group.

A real boom or bust type draft. IBFWT

Gotta keep up with the Jets!

But really, only Hardy is risky cause of his injury history. I think Bryant's character concerns are way overblown. All pro day reports say Wotoon looks perfectly healthy now. And Veldheer is about as much of a risk/reward as Vollmer was.

I like all 4 of the guys you picked to varying degrees, so I'd be happy with your first two rounds. The one guy I am up up in the air on Alualu as a 3-4 DE, he really seems like a UT in 4-3 scheme to me (I know he's actually played some 3-4 end at Cal, but so did Trevor Laws at Notre Dame). Regardless Alualu is a good player.

Bryant's intelligence (he sounds really dumb when he talks is what worries me about him). I like Wooten but I could see him being a little small for DE or outgrowing LB. With Veldheer, I would like to think this draft is deeper than last year so a similar pick to Vollmer isn't necessary.

I'm not trying to sound critical of your guys, just explaining why they weren't on my list.

I feel the same about Alualu but it sounds like he has the strength and hands to play DE for us. Believe me, he's not my perfect choice but I like him enough to put him on my list.

Not bad at all but would like to change #22.. Still rather have Ray Edwards at #22 in a RFA deal. 2013 would be a great year as all of these picks will emerge. I worry about 2010 Cousins. Don't sugar coat it with "the Draft will save the world".

If we are all set in a little wait, your picks are very good. Salute
